DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT.MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1927.

FLIGHT ENDED 80 MILES SOUTHEAST OF BERLIN TODAY (COXTIM !-:■> FltOM PAGE ONE) Bollancla plane ended at 7:40 u in., Berlin time (1:40 am., E. 8. T.) at Helfta, near Eislebeu, about 10(1 miles southwest of Berlin when the Columbia's fuel was exhausted. Obtaining gasoline through the courtesy of the Lufthansa, German civil alt line, Chamberlin and Levfnv continued flying as far as Forst. Ambassador Jacob Gould Schurman announced he would Cy to Cottbus, but the plan was changed and counselor of the embassy DeWittc wired Chamberlin ami Levine, urging that they come to Berlin by motor car, although the Lufthansa was ready to send a passenger plane to bring (he airmen to Berlin. Refuels And Goes On Officials of Helfta reported to Berlin today as follows: "An unknown airplane landed here. The pilot stepped out and said he was an American. We are investigating.” It was Chamberlin. He got his gas and proceeded. Crowds at the Tempiehof air field learned of the forced landing of the Bellanca plane at noon today and began swarming back to the city. A gale was blowing, compelling scout (irplanes which lingered in the aii hoping the Bellanca plane would ar rive to alight hurriedly. Forst is 15 miles east of Cottbm on the edge of a forest which abut) swampy, meadow country dotted with encumber farms. The river Neisse passes Forst and the- beadwaters ol he Spree are nearby. Five minutes after the forced landing at Forst became known ai Berlin, a plane departed for Cottbus to.bring the broken propeller to Beilin. where a duplicate would be made immediately to enable the Bellancs plane to fly again. I WIVES’ VIGIL ENDS By Paul W.’ White, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, June 6.—(UP)—Not tin til it became certain that Clarenct Chamberlin and Charles Levine had spanned the North Atlantic in theii speeding monoplane did their wives consent to sleep. She who was Wylda Van de Borger and she who was Grave Nova passer i misserable two days. Wylda Chamberlin is used to het husband's exploits. Prior to this sh< lias known worry when a plane has been overdue. But the restless ocean is another thing and that is why sh< wept hysterically with relief when tin Columbia reached Europe. To Go To Berlin Grave Levine found the hours ol waiting an agony. Her husband’s ab riipt and unexpected departure left tier poorly prepared tor Ine long per iod of anxiety. And when she finally heard that the plane had lauded it Germany and that the tilers were safi she could not stand alone. Something happened to her knees and they wouldn't keep her erect. The two women, one at a .Manhat tan hotel and the other at Heribellt Harbor home, planned to leave foi Berlin as soon as possible. Both sent cablegrams of congratulation. "Hail Columbia and my wonderful boy and Mr. Levine,” cabled Mrs Chamberlin. “Love and kisses. Will join you as soon as possible. Wylda." "Following your Hight with prayer love, pride and confidence. Love from family. Cable promptly. Will leave to meet you. Grace.” was Mrs. Le vine's greeting. Levine’s Daughter Happy There was another young woman vitally interested in the flight who showed more poise than either of the wives. She was Eloyse Levine, nine-year-old daughter of the airplane manufacturer. Eloyse was sure her daddy and Claren e would make it. "I'm not worried,” she said in very giown-up fashion dining the long wait and counselled her another not to cry. "You just wait; first thing you know they'll be there." One of the city’s y proudest men, when it became established that a non-stop flight record had been established, was G. M. Bellanca, designer of the plane. Bellanca had no official connection with the Hight, having withdrawn from Hie Columbia Aircraft Corporation after a quarrel with Levine, but it was his craft that had survived the exactions of nature and time. "Chamberlin is one of the greatest pilots I ever knew, he said. He has done as wall as I hoped. The Misses Elizabeth Kiefer and Louise Hutsfield, of Huntington, spent Bunday here with friends. Mr. and Mrs. James Kennedy and daughter, Grace, of Jofferson township, were shoppers here this morning.

GREAT WELCOME ' IS GIVEN FLIERS BY PRUSSIANS (<(IMIMI:i> FROM PAGE ONE) J to welcome the crew of the Bellanca t monoplane Columbia, sent tho folr ’.owing message: I “All well returning Berlin Tuesday Poole.” i By Frederick Kuh ( (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Copyright 1927 by United Press c Berlin, June 6.— (UP) —A broken propeller brought the Bellanca mono- | plane down near Forst, Prussia, Chart les A. Levine, backer and passengi r 3 in the Bellanca’s record breaking -■trans-Atlantic Hight told the United > Press today. i While five airplanes with correspondents were speeding to Cuttbus to - meet Levine and Pilot Clarence D. Chamberlin, the United Press obtained an exclusive interview with the fliers by telephone. Levine Talks Ten Minutes , Chamberlin was changing his clothes when the United Press called the ] airmen at the Ansorge hotel, Cott- . bus. He sent word to the phone that he was sorry he could not come to talk in person, but that his clothes had to be changed, being “rather soii- ! ed.” Levine talked ten minutes. 1 "We are leaving for Berlin this afi ternoon,” he said, "by a Lufthansa * (German civil air line) plane. 'j "Our Hrst act on arriving in Berlin ’ j will be to drink to glasses of Pilsener 1 beer and to eat some sausages or hot 3 i dogs. "When we landed near Forst, we saw that the broken propeller would 'make continuation of our flight impossible, so we came to Cottbus by automobile. Delighted At Result J "During the flight our only siisten- * ance consisted of a few glasses of , water and one sandwich between us. We were not hungry when we arriv- ? ed and both of us ate only a light lunch. We are feleing fine and are I not tired and we are delighted at the *. result of our adventure.” I Through the United Press. Chamberlin and Levine sent greetings to I their families, friends and country- . qien. | It was obvious that both Levine and . Chamberlin were disappointed that , they had fallen short of their goal— Berlin. But even while they talked with i<e United Press, the airmen '.began to receive congratulations from i Berlin as their whereabouts at the i Ansorge hotel became known here. Levine said that crossing the AtI laulic was smooth most of the time ' although the Bellanca monoplane oc- ' casioually encountered extremely strong winds. That necessitated swift drives and plunges as Chamberlin changed his alitude searching for ' more favorable conditions. I Bo it armen were lavish in their praise for the Wright whirlwind motor with which the Bellanca was equipped anil for the other equipment of ' the monoplane. HOME TOWN GOES WILD | Dennison, la., June 6. — (United I Press) -The biggest celebration in tile history of western lowa is planned for today as Clarence Chamberlin’s neighbors honor his sustained Hight from New York to Helfta, Germany. I Last night the town celebrated when it became known Chamberlin was safe across the Atlantic. Flares burned continuously. Big bonfires ' were lighted. Horns were tooted. School bells were rung. Shouts rang out. There were impromptu parades. Even the old fashioned Hallowe’en stunts ■ came into use and several minor in- ■ juries were reported. | But that celebration won’t com-

pare with the one planned for today. "YVe’lli hava tjie biggest’ (ceV’bration this section of the state ever . has seen. We'll have music, oratory, flags, airplanes and everything,” Mayor N. L. Hunt said. Efforts will ,be mad to have Gov. John Hammell i speak. I A little telegraph office did a great business in cablegrams. Scores were sent out. The longest one was sent by the chamber of commerce and read: "Atta boy Clarence. We kjjew you'd come through. Congjatula- . tions. A hearty welcome awaiting I your home coming.—Your home , town.” t - * 4 ———————————— KELLOGG SENDS WIRE Washington, June G—(United Press Secretary of State Kellogg today sent the following congratulatory message to Clarence Chamberlin through Ambassador Schurman in Berlin: "I congratulate you on your splendid achievement in flying from New York to Germany. It is a great accomplishment and should be an imj petus to the development of commercial aviation, which, cutting down as it eventually will the time of direct communication between Europe and | the United States, must bring the two more closely together. I “You will always be recognized as one of the pioneers in this great development.” 0 Mrs. Monahan Has Eye Removed In An Operation Mrs. F. A. Monahan, of Fort Wayne a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gaffer, of Decatur, who injured her left eye when she fel, 1 from a step hsd- i. j-<•! ", -'.e: /. wtednws.
